Trending News: That Dirty Aladdin Fan Theory That Has Plagued Many Millennial Brains Has Been Debunked

Why Is This Important?

Long Story Short

That dirty subliminal message in Aladdin where the main character says "take off your clothes," has sadly been debunked.

Long Story

There’ve been plenty of Disney fan theories out there over the years, and many of them dirty. There’s that dust cloud in The Lion King that allegedly spells out the word “sex,” but Disney insists it spells “SFX” as a shout-out to the special effects team. Believe what you will.

There’s also the very dick-like turret on the VHS cover of The Little Mermaid, but apparently that was inadvertent. Suure it was.

So while those theories have been ‘debunked’ by Disney, many others still remain, like the one about Aladdin whispering “take your clothes off” to Jasmine. Could Aladdin have been pushin’ for the Arabian cushion, as it were, or is it all in our heads?

Watching Aladdin for the first time in years... Aladdin actually said take off your clothes... What was my childhood, I don't understand

In an interview with E! News, Scott Weinger, the guy who voiced Aladdin, denied, denied, denied.

"I feel bad because people are so excited to figure it out, but it's not true: the thing about Aladdin saying, 'Take off your clothes.' There are websites dedicated to it. Like, 'If you play it in slow motion at this frame rate, you can tell that he's definitely saying that.' The truth is that I never said it. I never said it! I feel bad being a myth buster, although it's probably a good one to bust.”

Weinger added that working with the legendary Robin Williams meant there was no way he’d get away with a dirty joke like that.

Speaking of Robin Williams, there’s another Aladdin fan theory out there that’s less dirty, but still intriguing and worth verifying.

Fan theorists have alleged for a while that the creepy peddler dude with the magic lamp at the beginning of the movie is actually the Genie in disguise. This is evidenced by the fact that both the peddler and the Genie have four fingers.
